10. TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL DATA OUT OF THE UK AND EEA

    1. Your personal data is currently primarily stored and processed within the European Union (“EU”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”). We do not currently intend to transfer your personal data outside of the UK or the European Economic Area (“EEA”). If this changes, we will comply with applicable data protection laws designed to ensure the continued protection and privacy of your personal data.

      Any material changes to the international transfers described in this section will be reflected in updates to this Privacy Policy in accordance with the section on “Changes to this Privacy Policy” below.

      Under applicable UK and EU data protection laws, we may only transfer your personal data to a country outside the UK or EEA where:
      • the relevant authority has determined that the country ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data (for example, pursuant to an adequacy regulation or adequacy decision under Article 45 of the UK GDPR or EU GDPR);
      • appropriate safeguards are in place and enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available to you; or
      • specific exception applies under relevant data protection law.

      Accordingly, if we transfer your personal data outside the UK or EEA in the future:
      • transfers from the UK to the EEA would rely on the adequacy arrangements recognised under UK data protection law;
      • transfers from the EEA to the UK would rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the UK; and
      • transfers to countries outside the UK and EEA would rely on appropriate safeguards under applicable data protection laws, such as the incorporation of the European Commission’s approved Standard Contractual Clauses, together with the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or other approved transfer mechanisms where required, into our data processing agreements.


    Where we cannot rely on an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, we would only transfer your personal data where another lawful transfer mechanism or exception applies under applicable data protection law.
